About Split PDF

Split PDF breaks one document into smaller PDFs. Use it to separate the chapters of an e-book, pull each employee’s payslip out of a combined file, or send only the relevant part of a long report.

Choose how to split: custom ranges such as 1-3 and 4-10, a fixed number of pages per file, or one PDF per page. When the result is more than one file, the tool packs them into a ZIP archive so you download everything with a single click.

Features

• Three split modes: custom ranges, fixed size, every page
• Range checking against the real page count, with clear errors
• ZIP download for multiple files, named part-1.pdf, part-2.pdf and so on
• Lossless page copying

Why use it

• Share only the pages people need
• Stay under email attachment limits
• No upload, so confidential documents stay with you

How it works

The page ranges are validated against the page count, then each range is copied into its own new PDF with pdf-lib. Several files are packed into a ZIP archive in your browser.
